An additional amount of rupees 16 crore has been sanctioned for completion of Bagchaal bridge and the work has been allotted to Gammon India Private Ltd with directions to complete the left out work with next two years or so, stated Chief Minister Shri Virbhadra Singh while addressing a massive gathering at Ghandir in Jhanduta Assembly segment in Bilaspur district today.
On completion, it will benefit more than 20,000 population of 17 panchayats located on left bank of Govind Sagar and 25,000 population of 19 Panchayats on right bank of the river i.e. connecting Shri Naina Devi ji and Jhandhuta. This would shorten the distance of habitations on opposite ends of the river by around 70 kilometres from Bilaspur and Swarghat would be just 13 kilometres from Jhanduta which otherwise was more than 100 kilometres.
